Here’s a rundown of today’s expected market movements…
Technically, yesterday the markets unfurled with a gap down, and Nifty traded persistently below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) set at 19,605/65,800.
The intraday market dynamics appeared non-directional, indicating traders were on standby for a decisive breakout.
Bullish traders should set their sights on the immediate resistance zone at 19,605/65,800.
Concurrently, establishing a solid support at 19,450/65,400 is crucial.
A breach above 19,605/65,800 could propel the market to 19,675-19,700/66,095-66,150.
Crossing the 19,700 threshold would augur well for the market, potentially propelling it towards 19,800 and 19,900 in the forthcoming days.
Conversely, a dip below 19,450/65,400 could lead to a retest of the 19,400-19,330/65,100-64,850 level. Given the market's volatile texture, day traders are advised to implement a level-based trading strategy.
Bank Nifty finds itself entrenched in significant selling pressure, requiring a breakthrough above the 44,500 level to alleviate it.
However, attaining this seems a distant prospect currently. A bullish sentiment might reignite once the index surges beyond 44,150, potentially driving it towards 44,500. Conversely, a drop below 43,800 could precipitate a swift descent to 43,500.
In the realm of the Nifty IT index, an upward trajectory is anticipated post breaching the 32,700 level.
